Could you direct yourself?

Art21 Short Yesterday

Description

Sin Wai Kin hates being told what to do.

“I hate being told what to do, so I wouldn't let anybody direct me. [laughs]”

Our latest episode, “Human Nature,” takes viewers behind the scenes as Sin Wai Kin (@sinforvictory) creates performance, video, text, and installation works that open a fluid space between seemingly rigid binaries such as dreaming and waking, life and death, and performance and authenticity.

“On a shoot, I am wearing lots of hats. You know, I'm doing my makeup, first of all. I am acting and directing at the same time. It's this constant doing the thing and then looking at the thing and refining it.”
